I can not imagine a better place to stay in Harbour Island. The property offered comfort and a Bahamian feel with plenty of yard for soccer with the kids and a wonderful pool to cool off in! It was walking distance to everywhere!We were a family of 9 and were very comfortable!

This is a great place to stay if you have a big party, the rooms are spaced out nicely. While the indoor living space is small, the outdoor living area and pool area make up for it! We had the best time and plan to visit again soon.
